Almost 9 months after the round one of the Last Man Standing Thunderdome kicked off, 3 competitors from a remarkable cast of 144 have made it to this sixth and final round. Over the course of the thunderdome we've collectively produced hundreds of pieces of artwork, and each of these three competitors have created 5 stunning pieces to carry them where they are today.

So here we are, the last battle of the largest thunderdome to hit ca.org... Dan Milligan vs. steak-tron vs. Jason Chan. Who will be the Last Man Standing?

Topic: Last Man Standing
Open ended, interpret as you will guys. The only requirement is that your piece be f'n badass, and with you three there's sure to be nothing less than that.

Deadline:
The official deadline stands at 11:59pm PST Wednesday, May 10th, 2006.

NEW! THE PRIZE!
Jason, being the great guy he is, has put up a free workshop tuition for the winner of the Last Man Standing dome. If you already have a ticket, you can use your ticket to bring a friend along with you. Thanks J, that's too cool of you.

Submissions:
My bandwidth will commit suicide if I hosted the massive amounts of images expected, so I'll have to ask that you upload your image to your own space and send me the link to your image. You can submit your entries in link form to strych9ine@gmail.com in the yournameVScompetitor'sname_TD.jpg format, with the title of your email yourname's entry. Size: Keep your images large enough so that the detail is preserved, but do your best to keep the file size down (Photoshop's Save for Web function can help quite a bit).

Keep your secret weapon secret: do not post up you WIPs or Finished Pieces before the main T-DOME threads are displayed. The best part about this is seeing all the artwork for the first time side by side, don't rob us of that chance.

So here is what I'm thinking fellas... I could rack my brain coming up with another absolutely brilliant topic, but I figure since you guys made it so damn far you deserve to pick this round's yourselves.

Talk amongst yourselves.

Cody man, i reckons you should come up with the topic again - you have done such a fantastic job so far, and its always a great surprise to suddenly read what craziness you come up with and start working on it, rather than knocking ideas back and forth between contestants where it can all get a bit specific?
See you pushed me and i'm sure loasd of others to draw shit that I never would have before, which is cool.

but erm its not up to me hehe

good luck guys,

yeah, definitely come up with a topic strychie...free topics are not only hard for the artists but also hard to compare and thus to judge...

March 28th, 2006

JasonChan

Yeah, I trust your creative genius, Cody - you haven't failed to impress us with your great topics so far. Fire away :)

Topic: The Dogs of War
Open ended, interpret as you will guys. The only requirement is that your piece be f'n badass, and with you three there's sure to be nothing less than that.

If you guys think the topic sucks, I'll toss another one out for you. Good luck!

Ok guys, if it's ok with all of you I pulled a switcharoo and just made the topic Last Man Standing. It's perfect for the last round (thanks nic)... everyone cool with that?

Nice banner too Cody, all your graphic designery has really given this an "offical" edge. Even though this has been kicking my ass it's great to have 5 new pics.

All the way to May?? That's too far away. In the voice of Veruca Salt: I want art NOW!
